🇺🇸 877 area code
877 is one of the seven toll-free codes shared by the whole of North America. It does not point to a city or state — the person or business paying for the line could be anywhere in the US, Canada or the Caribbean. A lookup tells you whether the number is real, who carries it and what kind of line it is.

Is a 877 call a scam?
Most 877 calls are ordinary businesses. But toll-free numbers are also cheap for anyone to rent through a VoIP provider, and caller ID can display a real company's toll-free number while someone else is on the line.
If an 877 caller says they are your bank, a delivery service or a government agency, hang up and call the number printed on your card or the official website instead of the one that called you.
About area code 877
Toll-free numbers are not tied to a location. The business that rents an 877 number pays for incoming calls, which is why banks, airlines and support lines use them — and why callers who want to look established do too. 877 numbers are interchangeable with 800, 888, 866, 855, 844 and 833: the codes were opened one after another as the older ones filled up, not to mark different kinds of business.
877 has been in use since April 4, 1998.
Because the code says nothing about where a caller is, the useful questions are different: is the number real and in service, which carrier holds it, and is it a VoIP line that could have been set up minutes ago? That is what a lookup answers.
